SAN ANTONIO — Police are investigating an accident that left a man dead early Saturday.

SAPD Sgt. Javier Salazar said a pedestrian was running in the eastbound lanes of Northeast Loop 410 just west of U.S. 281 when he was struck by a Pontiac G5 traveling eastbound.

The driver of the vehicle stopped, called 911, and waited for police, Salazar said.

The pedestrian, believed to be in his 20s, was found lying in an eastbound lane of Loop 410 shortly after 2 a.m. Investigators believe the pedestrian was trying to cross a lane of traffic when he was struck.

The pedestrian, whose identity had not been late Saturday, was wearing dark clothing and running in a section of the highway that is prohibited to pedestrians, Salazar said.
